My husband, Evan, and I got married in 2017 and joined our families into this modern day blended crew.
I have one child, Micah, he is almost 21 and a senior at the United States Air Force Academy. Evan has Emily, 11, and Ethan, 9. They are both funny and smart... and have taught me so much about parenting that I swore I already knew.

My husband, Evan, and I got married in 2017 and joined our families into this modern day blended crew.

Blending families is tough but with patience and prayer and a whole lot of snack mix... we can all make it.
Micah is with us about 4 weeks out of the year... the military gets him the rest of that time... and Emily and Ethan are with us weekends.
Evan and I truly "met our match" when we got married. Between the two of us, we can pretty much make anything happen!
Evan's family has owned Tate Farms since 1962. He was born and raised on the property where we live. He is the oldest of 3 boys and runs the ranch for his family. We have hundreds of horses and cattle, 2 pigs, a handful of chickens, a slew of jackrabbits, honey bees and 4 of the most loyal farm dogs you will ever meet.

Moving to the farm when we got married was a big adjustment to me. I had always lived close to "everything". The grocery store, fast food (my guilty pleasure), my lovely little walk-in massage studio... you know... all the basics.
Being here on the farm, with its picturesque landscape and time zone all its own, has encouraged me to slow down and really lean into the things I want to do. I have truly fallen in love with this new lifestyle.
Together, we run several different businesses.
I owned Photo Wagon, my mobile photo booth biz, when we got married. Evan had Tate Farms horse boarding, cattle ranching and farming.

Together we started an event venue at the farm, Summerfield at Tate Farms and then recently we saved a 121 year chapel from being demolished and brought it to the farm to restore and use for private dinners, live music, weddings, workshops, and so much more.
Food writing is my passion. It's MY thing. I have 2 monthly print columns, one for our local paper, Blue Ribbon News and the other for Living Magazine, a Texas based lifestyle magazine.
My friends, if you are here on this site, know that you are getting the best of me. I absolutely love to talk about food!
